...present there is every reason for the Crimson squad to be overconfident. The Yale "News" quotes Bob Kiphuth, Yale coach, as saying that Harvard has the best swim squad in the East this year. The metropolitan newspapers frequently flash large headlines acclaiming Harvard as possibly the strongest team in the country. Whether these and other optimistic predictions are based on fact can be proved only in the tank for the next few Saturdays...
Captain Charlie Hutter, of course, is the big gun of the team's scoring battery. Opposing teams this year will have the disturbing thought that Charlie may swim in any freestyle race from the 50 to the 440 and relays, and be practically certain to win it.

Next week Mr. Gibbs will fly down to North Carolina to see how his muskrats...
...Genesee Depot the Lunts live in a converted chicken house during their vacations, raise choice broccoli, cantaloupe, a wide variety of herbs, vegetables and flowers, swim in the swimming pool that Design for Living paid for, pamper their dachshunds Elsa and Rudolf, indulge in fancy cookery, their mutual hobby. It is the same farm, lovingly elaborated, where Alfred lived as a boy. Natives still call him Bill, a nickname he got from worshipping a boyhood hero, Buffalo Bill...
